fxg4758 0 Posted July 30, 2011 Hi all. I start to use this function _GetExtProperty($sPath, $iProp) from Simucal in my program, but when it run, my program is increased more 4 Mega in RAM and remains with this value. Can someone tell me why this happens? Regards. Func _GetExtProperty($sPath, $iProp) Local $iExist, $sFile, $sDir, $oShellApp, $oDir, $oFile, $aProperty, $sProperty $iExist = FileExists($sPath) If $iExist = 0 Then SetError(1) Return -1 Else $sFile = StringTrimLeft($sPath, StringInStr($sPath, "\", 0, -1)) $sDir = StringTrimRight($sPath, (StringLen($sPath) - StringInStr($sPath, "\", 0, -1))) $oShellApp = ObjCreate ("shell.application") $oDir = $oShellApp.NameSpace ($sDir) $oFile = $oDir.Parsename ($sFile) If $iProp = -1 Then Local $aProperty[35] For $i = 0 To 34 $aProperty[$i] = $oDir.GetDetailsOf ($oFile, $i) Next Return $aProperty Else $sProperty = $oDir.GetDetailsOf ($oFile, $iProp) Return $sProperty EndIf EndIf EndFunc ;==>_GetExtProperty Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jaberwacky 327 Posted August 1, 2011 You're really worried about 4MB? Maybe shell.application is a large object or something?

water 2,384 Posted August 1, 2011 (edited) Set$oShellApp = 0at the end of the function and the memory for the shell.application should be released.
